The enemy was the dominant members of other species. As men and women multiplied, the threat to self and other became not so much members of other species which threatened the integrity of self and other, but other members of one's own species have become the apparent threat. The threat became the dominant members of one's own species. As the human population has grown, the threat is not so much to individual members of any species, but the threat of technocratic man against the integrity of the global ecosystem. One species has become excessively dominant in its activities and it threatens all species with extinction, which would include its own extinction. Ancient instincts now mislead intelligent people. The enemy is no longer other species or different members of one's own species. Evil is not incarnate in particular other humans and they are not the real enemy. The problem is to recognize the real threat to the integrity of self and other, and to deal with that threat in integrative ways. The real threat to our integrity lies in our collective collusive addictions and codependent behaviors. Real security lies in the freedom to be our authentic selves with both personal and communal integrity. The real threat to us is that which threatens our freedom to be our authentic selves. Our real defense is that which will help us to deal honestly with whatever threatens our freedom to be our authentic selves. It is not particular other persons which are the focus of threats to our integrity. It is the collusive paradigm which imprisons particular other persons, which is the power which threatens our integrity, our freedom to be our authentic selves, our security. Our defense lies in understanding the nature of that which threatens us, and in responding openly and honestly to that threat in ways which promote both personal and communal integrity. Our defense does not lie in weapons of great destruction. Our defense does not lie in threatening the integrity of other members of our own species. Our defense does not lie in exclusive behavior which is disintegrative by its very nature. We will not be secure until we come to a better understanding of the nature of security, and then seek to work to promote authentic security. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
